ObjectWebCon'06 in few words

The 5th edition of the ObjectWeb Annual Conference was held in the CNIT of Paris La Défense, from January 31st to February 2nd, 2006.

ObjectWebCon '06 featured:

- a high level program with technical contents aligned to the latest technologies. This program offered the attendees a great variety of topics such as SOA, ObjectWeb projects, Enterprise information Integration, Enterprise grid,...

- 3-days of technical presentations and diversified events: the Best Use Case Awards ceremony, BoFs Sessions, demo sessions on the ObjectWeb Village as well as side events.

ObjectWebCon '06 attendees included 30% of foreigners. Most attendees belonged to the private industry sector (63%), 27% to academia and 10% to public organizations. A majority of attendees (57%) were not consortium members, which illustrates the growing impact of ObjectWeb outside the community.

The co-location with Solution Linux proved a success and was very appreciated by attendees and sponsors altogether. ObjectWeb took advantage of this co-location to benefit from a renowned, world-class conference hall: the CNIT of Paris la Défense.

INRIA, currently the host of the consortium, took advantage of the cross participation with Objectweb on Solutions Linux. It allowed to create a real synergy between INRIA and the ObjectWeb community. INRIA had thus the opportunity to liaise with the industrial world, and notably through the presence of the 3 INRIA open source consortia and communities: LibreSource, Scilab and ObjectWeb.
